Noon-1:00 pm EST
To celebrate the busiest travel day in America -- the day before Thanksgiving -- we're talking traffic. Everyday, millions of people get in their cars and hope to arrive at their destinations with a minimum of stops and delays. But what dynamics cause the road well-traveled to become the highway to hell? Our guest Tom Vanderbilt, author of Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do and What It Says About Us, explains why driving is one of the most complex things we do in our daily lives. (Originally broadcast 9/8/2008)
